Who are the #1 and #2 Orioles Prospects

[Tony-OH]

We're going to do things a little different this year by going from one to ten instead of counting back!

Who are the #1 and #2 Orioles Prospects after the 2019 season?

[Redskins Rick]

I was hoping Diaz, but with his health issues, is he?

Grayson would be my next logical choice.

[Ripken]

Rutsch and Hall.  

Rutsch is a stud.  I saw Hall in Frederick several times and he's legit.  Need to see him succeed at higher levels now. 

[Frobby]

I have no doubt that Rutschman is #1 and that either Hall or Rodriguez is #2.     But Hall vs. Rodriguez is something of a coin toss.    My sense is that Hall has the slightly higher ceiling, Rodriguez a substantially higher floor.     Based on that, I personally would choose Rodriguez #2 but Tony always like ceiling so I’m going with Rutschman-Hall in the poll.

Agree on the coin toss for 2/3, but I prefer Hall because he's the type of guy whose ceiling wins World Series games like Strasburg did last week. As good as I think Grayson Rodriguez can be, I'm not sure he could get to that level even if everything falls his way. I love that he's good enough for there to be a debate though.

This is a good thing, when we have multiple higher level prospects where you can discuss pegging order at 2, 3 or 4.

Can you image, they all succeed, and they form the next "core" group of Orioles?

AR and GrayRod

[UMDTerrapins]

I voted AR and GR, but if I was betting real money I’d vote AR and RM.

Well, with Hall and Rutsch as an option, the school test taker kicked in and went with Rutsch/Hall for the reasons you mentioned combined with the options available

I actually think 20-30, and even beyond, will be interesting too. It's really neat when a guy like @Sir_Loin jumps into a thread and mentions a kid I've never heard of as a guy to watch. It seems like we'll finally run into a few of those types now that the international stuff is actually moving. But really, there are more interesting stories throughout a top 30 list than I can ever remember. Just reading the responses in that minor league thread, it's clear I totally forgot about some guys who will probably end up with really nice write-ups. Fun times to like Orioles prospects.

Without giving too much away, at least personally, I'm a wait and see with the DSL guys because I don't get to see them and I don't have a contact there.

I like Rodriguez here.  I I took that.

I think that is wise.

What are some examples of pitchers with a walk rate like Hall's who turned out well?

The biggest one is Randy Johnson.
